Import all the contacts into the "Persons" category, or at least all the contacts that are (essentially) people. EG Azuria is a contact, but if I want her IN a mission she's not there, so you have to build an Azuria model, which isn't actually possible because she, like many of the earlier NPCs (See War Witch and her hair) have custom parts/clothes unique to them. * *Some ARE in the "Persons" category, but a good number are not.

Oh, I get the Number Six bit 🙂 I am currently campaigning to have that arc opened up to actual Praetorians if they don't leave Praetoria, Get Six to contact them through the Static, or have Dark Watcher hand them out instead. A contact and a door added and extra "new" content for Gold side. Perhaps Nemesis' clockworks couldn't handle the DE versions from Praetoria?

And the PRETTY thing!

This! So much this for me!

You cap out at 40ish at the end of Night Ward. (41 maybe). 40 to 50 is tough, but there are Seed of Hamidon raids to go on, SBBs are fun (and that casino is in Praetoria!), Pillar for ouro mishes you missed along the way (and all the handicap badges for those!) Cathedral of Pain is available to do, and then at 50 you get The Emperor's Sword arc and Cole's Personal story, as well as all the Incarnate Trials. That's without setting foot in AE. And when the call goes out from a younger Goldsider in the SG that they need some help, if possible we come running 🙂 And that Gold trim Team Transporter with the stars on the wings is snazzy.

Excellently put and I completely disagree with you 🙂 Why do the missions? Why not do the missions? Some are great, some are average, some are godawful, que sera sera. My personal motivation is to play through the stories and enjoy that mad world that we have here. I simply don't know why others believe that you have to rush to 50, I don't. I keep getting told by a strident minority that that is what you do but every "reason" offered is only an opinion. Is it WOW that taught that weird lesson? I'm not speed reading a book so I can get to the final chapter and then hard core read that, or reading wiki synopses for a TV show and then just watching the final episode. Coming up with content that forces the player into trying to reach a goal? What goal? All the missions have a goal of some sort. There are people on here who ONLY MAKE BASES! Most of my toons are middling built and get snapped in two by some mobs, but I enjoy the hell out of them. So you have posited a mode of play as THE mode of play. It isn't. That's no criticism of you by the way! And these are MY opinions, hence the warning in my original post 🙂

If they're doing like I think (and hope!) they are doing then they are approaching the entire thing holistically and seeing the game as a whole thing, rather than some do and assume that only end content is the "real" game.

Still doing it. It takes a while, and I missed the very first one! Avid Reader, because at that time I hadn't decided to stay! And there are some Praetorian badges you cannot get if you stay Gold, like the one you get for leaving! As for difficulty, this week alone I've teamed five/xix teams of Goldsiders, min 4/max 7, doing content. Then again Reunion has a dedicated Praetorians SG and we support each other where we can.

Yeah, And that's complete BOLL**KS. If the current devs mine some of that then great, but if they decide to to just blindly implement any of it? Oh nonsense.

ROFLMAO

Are folk complaining about having to explore for badges to get ....really? It's a WORLD. Go play in it.

DANGER. OPINIONS AHEAD. The game has bucketloads of content, absolute tonnes of it. And the Devs are proving they can add more and add it well. So motivation? That's not on them, short of them managing to multiply their team tenfold and maintain quality at the same time. So that's in the "more to do" bracket. End game content? Yes, the game does need more of that, but frankly the Devs are currently smart enough to avoid it because if it isn't backed up with content across the board then it's just another bottleneck and you're in the same spot. The original devs constantly fell down on this. I'll give you an example of what I mean, YMMV on whether I'm hitting the mark or swinging wild here though. The war with Praetoria. There's Portal Corp missions and on up to iTrials, but in a war with another dimension where were the missions for everyone? Where were the level 20 missions (red or blue) where you had to infiltrate a base to do a thing so that the 50s could even DO an iTrial? Too much hand waving and relying on Dream Doctor (please someone remove him from all future content!) and he's a deus ex machina that removes player agency. Bad choice. So, HC are taking things slow but in the right way (sure, there's things I want them to do that they haven't and might not but you can't have everything).

As do Wiki writers (teasing @thunderforce!) Especially when they show up and announce "Hey, I can do this thing! And did you know...etc"

Isn't it great to be back home again?

I'm just posting a screenie. Because, you know, when your dedicated Redside 4EVAH villain, who's an ex-Skull, and his bunch of Thugs decide to help out Doc Buzzsaw, well, ya gotta. Wendigo Montoya and the boys are here to kick you in the face!

She's not there as a vendor, so...

And that there is a hook. There are a few places are around that can be releveraged into doing extra work, since getting more mileage out of what we already have is, I think, vital. Either that or @Piecemeal will never sleep again. A topic for another thread though.

My SG is a Praetorian origin only SG. Is is possible to get it rebranded to this? EDIT. It looks like it already is! Thank you!

Past winners get inducted into the Hall of Fame, but you also have a lot of farms in there too, so combine that with @cranebump's suggestion of SFMA in the search function too. SFMA is your friend! Follow the man's advice! (And check out his arcs, they're good!)

The one in Kallisti is on the Christie Square side, almost at the south wall. Atlas Park? I think that's in the south east corner. And Destroyed Galaxy? You can SEE it out beyond the statue of Galaxy Girl but you can't get to it. It's the same building though.

Similar building in Kallisti Wharf....and there's one in Destroyed Galaxy too.

Last Bastion's story does take place then but isn't anywhere near "Praetoria Proper" (coupled with the fact that the entire Underground is actually a system of nuclear bunkers), and are you seriously suggesting that any Praetorian still there wouldn't be fighting the Hamidon? You have Praetorian citizens in danger and IDF troopers still unconverted to DE monstrosities to rescue. Any Praetorian would be there doing their bit. I don't see any reason why they would have had to leave to do this. And if it's the simple fact that I suggested that Number Six or Dark Watcher be located in Nova, then place them in First Ward or Night Ward. In fact A static box INSIDE the never used First Ward train station would be perfect for Six.

I know Reese recognizes a Praetorian origin character if you run one of those through this set of missions, I'll have to test it with a Primal only character, unless anyone else can enlighten me? Or maybe that's on the HC wiki? Time to look.

And the absolute "woo!" from getting the SG TP Accolade that let you use a port to the area!

Hmmm. A more in keeping with the Hamidon lore thing might be a variation on the Buoyant Membrane temp power you get in the Seed of Hamidon raids when you take out a seedling.
